Lusambo is right over Kambwili
HONESTLY I agree with honourable Lusambo that Chishimba Kambwili needs prayers. Church leaders and other leaders please should intervene. The man is not okay. He needs to sit down with some clergy who can help him reflect on his life and where he is going.
His bitters and uncouth language is beyond understanding. He is exhibiting lack of common decency to such an extent that it is difficult to find any rational thinking in his rambling. He is an insult specialist and a champion at denigrating others, especially women. He seems to thrive on mocking the poor status of people who are now in leadership.
One gets the impression that it is a crime to get rich unless ba Kambwili approves. And for those who had borrowed from him, I feel sorry for them, for they shall one day soon be exposed and their poverty laid bare.
The man is nothing but a coward who sings loud when surrounded by admirers.
But he needs prayers and its upto to us all to pray for him to see the light and see the error of his ways.

ANTONIO: HH is a political novice
Dear Editor,
I read with total disbelief the comments attributed to Mr Kakoma the spokesperson of UPND in your paper of 23rd January,2018 volume 4 issue 1876, regarding the above subject.
The problem with the UPND leadership is that, they would like to make Mr Hichilema believe that he is a great leader and worship him. Mwata you are not building your leader, you are just spoiling and destroying him, because he will never correct his weakness.
The fact is that Mr. Hichilema is a political toddler who came in politics through the back door. Mr. Kakoma you are more mature in terms of politics than your boss, you and people like Garry and Mwiimbu are tested leaders rising through political ranks as MP’s, even the great leader late Anderson Mazoka was tested at Bauleni Branch chairman. So young Antonio can not be a baby as you put it. He was a union leader at UNZA, the highest learning institution in our land, what else do you want from a leader? He has a track record of leadership. How old is the President of France. Please Mwata let’s debate real political issues than calling others names. Being rich does not mean you can be a political leader or be more wise than those without money, it doesn’t work that way. You Mr Kakoma proved to be a good leader during your term of office in Chavuma as MP, did you have the money or riches, NO .
So please advise your leader properly, I fully understand your predicament as a party in terms of funding it and your own positions, but this is what is destroying the once popular party.
Thank you
Leroy

Govt should intervene
Dear Editor,
GOVERNMENT should not run away from its responsibility of regulating schools in the country. Why should a school that belongs to the church for that matter be charging exorbitant and unreasonable project fees?
Mind you these are hard times. Where will the parents get that kind of money from ? K10,000 does not grow on trees please.
St Mary’s Girls School administration should be reasonable and not make outrageous demands on parents just because they know that for some, they have no choice but to stick it out.
Apart from the amount being exorbitant, the manner in which the school wants the money to be paid is worrying. It is my view that perhaps parents would have understood if this amount was staggered so that the first term, a portion of it is paid and the rest in instalments agreed upon.
Those who fail to pay can still be advised that their examination results would be withheld until the fee was paid. But to demand that right there and then the K10,000 be paid is unreasonable and it is not a move that one would expect from a Christian school. Catholic run school are generally sought after because of the quality of education offered as well as the schools that are charged across the board.
Now this nightmare project fees that the school is springing on parents is ridiculous.
Government should not allow such abuse of the liberalisation of the economy to over charge parents. It can not be business as usual. Something must be done and done fast.

Chipolopolo boys spirit inspiring
Dear Editor,
Loving the spirit of Chipolopolo boys so far. I just wish our boys all the best.
Whatever the results with Sudan, I think with Zambian football there’s been improvement and this gives us a direction of football in our country.

Partial drought will affect maize yield
Dear editor,
IT IS worth mentioning that farming is agriculture business which is termed agribusiness.
Farming falls into various categories. These include among others, the following: animal husbandry, crop farming, horticulture and poultry farming.
I won’t delve so much into each of the above named farming. This is because my main focus is on crop farming with particular emphasis on maize.
Maize is the staple food of Zambia grown by both commercial and subsistence farmers. The crop depends to a large extent on rains being experienced in the regions or provinces as it were. The 2017/2018 farming season will be adversely affected by the partial drought being experienced in some provinces such as Lusaka among others. Luapula, Muchinga and Northern provinces which are receiving normal rainfall at the moment.
In Lusaka most farmers have not even planted maize and other crops owing to the dry spell or rather drought currently prevailing.
If this is not good enough, the Electronic Voucher system has been a flop as evidenced by very few people who have accessed farming inputs. The 2017/2018 E-Voucher system has irked President Edgar Lungu.
President Lunch has however apologised to farmers and he has assured them that the Government will do everything possible to ensure that the E-Voucher system will be well executed during the next farming season.
By virtue of the partial drought, the country’s maize will be lower than that of last farming season.
The country should therefore brace for high price of mealie meal unless otherwise.
